Random NBA Observations 2021 - 2022

[Controversy]

You’re right but Giannis suffers from the same thing Lebron did, they have a more robotic rigid style of play and have a more well rounded game do don’t get mentioned enough when talk of best scorers come up, the likes of Durant Kobe etc are more fluid in their style of play, more natural basketball players and are less rounded all in all in terms of playmaking, defending, and athleticism so their scoring gets highlighted.

Kobe less rounded in defending

 

[Trapperman Dave]

Dwight had a 24/8 on 64% game against Embiid and now 21/12 on 75% against Gobert in the same week

Prime Dwight handling these nikkas top 75 snub was the worst ever NBA snub I can remember

And shaq say he ain’t a HOF nikka extremely petty

 

[SchoolboyC]

His was a partial and doesn't need repair.. I wouldn't rush him either but a healthy C's can give the Bucks issues i wouldn't count them out

I mean they’d put up a fight but we got nothing for Giannis lol

 

[Serious]

Who made that call to NBCS Philly? @AAKing23 @Flight

@JoelB @Leasy yall lost the tanking pistons


No wonder yall ducking my mentions

Kobe less rounded in defending

Kobe was not that special defensively my guy

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

lonzo had a bone bruise on top of the meniscus tear that’s why he taking so long

Isn’t a bone bruise what’s kept Nunn all season?

Go say that in the lakers thread then.

 

[DraymondT]

Kobe was not that special defensively my guy

12 All Defense selections tied for 2nd ever but was not that special defensively

Which one of your cacs on Reddit or Realgm told you that one nikka

Nikka his defense was not that “well rounded” certainly not up there with DPoY level defenders like Giannis or LeBron in his prime

Good point of attack defender 1-3 when engaged, good athleticism to jump the passing lanes for spectacular steals, good hands, competitive/tough, in his later years a good communicator/QB

But overall not that well rounded provided lil to no paint resistance, vulnerable to screens and as a post defender due to his frame, effort waned throughout his career to conserve energy for offense

Certainly not as well rounded defensively as Giannis or prime LeBron who were far more versatile in positions and play types they could defend and far more explosive gamebreaking defenders

Bron get cooked defensively and barely exerts any effort

 

[JoelB]

I had Embiid leading the mvp race a few weeks back but it's gon be some undeniable deebo bully ish if Giannis ends the season #1 in scoring, #1 in PER (.3 behind Jokic), and #1 seed in the East (.5 behind Miami). All three are well within his grasp.

LeBron is 37

Kobe was one of the worst defenders in the league and one of the most inefficient players on O at this stage of his career

LeBron is top 20 in blocks, top 10 in charges, tied career high 1.1 blocks per game, one of the few players on an awful defensive Lakers team ranked a + defender by the analytics

April Fools

I don’t think so. He is eligible and he’s made improvements every season. It’s weird. Reading Cavs being hesitant about this. Y’all don’t want to extend him or Sexton?

 

[who_better_than_me]

And shaq say he ain’t a HOF nikka extremely petty

He said Melo ain’t either . Said lakers have only 3 HOF playing for them right now. I assume he means Russ, Bron , and AD​
